"Hmm, it's just a minor karmic obstacle; an injection will do the trick."
"An injection?"
Xiao was a little confused when he saw a syringe suddenly appear in Xia Zhi's hand.
The so-called karmic obstacles actually refer to a kind of "toxin" that accumulates in the body of a Yaksha due to the erosion of the remnants of demons.
Xia Zhi once treated a patient named Jia Liang for Bai Zhu at Bu Bu Lu.
The patient was born with a heart ailment and a weak heart meridian. He was also affected by the remnants of a demon god, but he was cured by him using [Advanced Dispel Technique] and [Holy Healing Technique].
However, although both were affected by the remnants of the demon god, the extent to which Xiao was affected was far beyond what that mortal from Jialiang could compare to.
But for Xia Zhi, it was just a matter of casting a few more [Advanced Dispel] spells.
However, he was also somewhat interested in things like demon remnants. It was rare to find so many materials on Xiao, and it would be a waste to just dispel them. He might as well use the [Universal Injector] to collect them, which might come in handy later.
Xia Zhi walked over, picked up the syringe, and said in a doctor's tone, "Great Sage, don't worry, this injection won't hurt."
"Um……"
Xiao is not afraid of pain; he has been through countless battles and has suffered countless injuries.
"Please extend your arm."
"it is good."
Xia Zhi inserted the needle.
Although the [Universal Syringe] looks the same as the syringe from the original world, it is not actually inserted into a person's body.
Its needle insertion is a conceptual contact.
It will not leave any scars on the body, nor will it damage any flesh or blood.
Xiao watched as the needle pierced through the skin, and sure enough, he didn't feel any pain.
Xia Zhi began the extraction.
Similar to the forbidden knowledge on her cousin and the abyssal aura on Ye Lan, the demon god remnants also appear to be some kind of black liquid.
Moreover, the amount of this substance on the Xiao's body is extremely large.
Xia Zhi extracted the samples three times before they were completely removed, and then placed them into multi-purpose bottles.
During this extraction process, Xiao's expression visibly improved.
He could feel the constant, frantic whispers in his mind rapidly diminishing until they disappeared.
The ever-present nightmare finally dissipated when Xia Zhi put away the [Multi-Purpose Syringe].
"Great Sage, how are you feeling now?"
"Very good, thank you Mr. Xia!"
"You're welcome. You don't need to leave yet. Sit here for a while, and I'll observe the situation further to see if it's really completely removed."
"it is good."
Xiao nodded.
Mr. Xia is even more capable than Dr. Bai.
Xia Zhi sat down on the other chair and started chatting with Xiao.
The so-called observation of the situation was just an excuse; what he really wanted was to ask Xiao about some things concerning Yasha.
"I am also quite curious about the Yaksha clan. I wonder if the Great Sage could tell me about you?"
"Of course, what would Mr. Xia like to know?"
“I once listened to a storyteller in a teahouse who said that the Rock King Emperor had five great guardian yakshas by his side, each of whom was extremely powerful and brave.”
"The Five Guardian Yakshas..."
Xiao paused for a moment, his expression slightly heavy, as if he had recalled some sad events.
“Mr. Xia is right. Liyue once had five guardian yakshas: the Grand Marshal of the Tengshe, the General of the Heart Monkey, the General of the Snail, the General of the Fire Rat, and the General of the Golden Roc, myself.”
"But during the long and bloody battle, he was corrupted by the lingering hatred of the demon god. Yingda went mad and died. Mi Nu and Fanan also went mad and killed each other. Fu She has also disappeared without a trace. Now I am the only one left."
"If Mr. Wuxia had helped me today, I would probably have followed in their footsteps soon."
Xia Zhi said seriously, "I'm sorry, I reminded the Great Sage of something unpleasant."
Xiao shook his head: "It's alright, Mr. Xia, is there anything else you'd like to know?"
Xia Zhi pondered for a moment: "Although it may be presumptuous, I would like to ask where Fu She ultimately disappeared?"
“I’m not too sure about that either… I’ve been searching for Brother Fushe’s whereabouts all these years, but I haven’t found any concrete clues.”
"Has he ever been to the Abyss of Layered Rocks?"
"The Rocky Abyss?"
Xiao frowned slightly.
"It seems not... Why do you ask that, Mr. Xia?"
"To be honest, Miss Yelan just returned from a mission in the Abyss of Layered Rocks. I also helped her heal her body. When we talked, she mentioned that a dark calamity occurred in the Abyss of Layered Rocks five hundred years ago. At that time, one of her Ye family ancestors and an unnamed Yaksha seemed to have joined forces to fight against the enemy, but they suddenly disappeared afterward..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao muttered to himself, "Nameless Yaksha..."
"Great Sage?"
"Oh? I'm sorry, I lost my composure... Mr. Xia, I don't know who that nameless demon is either."
"It's okay, I was just asking out of curiosity."
After observing for a while, Xia Zhi nodded and said, "It seems that there are no problems with you anymore, and your karmic obstacles should have been completely eliminated."
Xiao thanked him again: "Thank you, Mr. Xia."
Xia Zhi suddenly asked, "Does the Great Sage intend to go to the Abyss of Layered Rocks?"
Xiao paused for a moment, then nodded: "I do have that plan."
Xia Zhi smiled, took out a string of beads, and handed it to Xiao.
"This is?"
"This is a little thing I made before, called a Bodhi bead string. It might be of some help to the Great Sage."
"This thing..."
Bodhi bead string
Quality: Gold.
Type: Assistive devices.
Characteristic: Zen meditation.
Effects: Turning the prayer beads brings a calm and tranquil mind, which can dispel inner demons and eliminate karmic obstacles.
Hidden effect: Increases damage against evil spirits by 20%.
Xiao instinctively took it in his hand, but immediately sensed that this thing was extraordinary, as if it had been tailor-made for him.
"It's too valuable, I can't accept it..."
“Great Sage, don’t be in a hurry to refuse. I also have a request.”
"Require?"
"If the Great Sage is going to the Abyss of Layered Rocks, please accompany Miss Yelan and take care of her for me along the way."
"..."
Xiao's expression was somewhat strange. He glanced at Xia Zhi and silently put away the beaded string.
“I understand, Mr. Xia.”
Chapter 361 Liyue's Strong Luck (4K)
The Bodhi Beads String is an item that Xia Zhi once obtained from a treasure chest, but which was later reverted to its previous state.
This is a Buddhist ritual implement, and its inherent effect of "eliminating karmic obstacles" is of little use to Xia Zhi, but it is extremely suitable for Xiao.
Previously, when Xia Zhi listened to the story of the Yaksha in the teahouse, he wondered if this item would be useful for dealing with the karmic burdens on the Yaksha. However, at that time, Xia Zhi did not know Xiao and had no reason to give him such a golden item.
The situation is different now.
Xia Zhi was still a little worried about Miss Ye Lan's second trip to the Layered Rock Abyss, after all, he was the one who had divined her fate...
If a celestial being accompanies her, her safety can be guaranteed.
Xia Zhi thought for a moment and then said, "Please don't tell Miss Ye Lan what I just said, Great Sage."
Xiao nodded silently, sensing that the relationship between Mr. Xia and Miss Ye Lan seemed rather complicated.
After all, he was just a ruthless killing machine.
"Let's go out."
"it is good."
